Bug: Transports are added into the overcommand limit of the protecting fleet

[unmerged(13058)]

Here is what happened: I had a 30-ship battlegroup (with a grand admiral) escorting a 9-transport fleet. They were attacked. Nine of the ships in my battlegroup had the ‘overcommand limit’ modifier put onto it. I distinctly remember that other versions of HOI always put the transports at the bottom of the list, so that any overcommand would not be applied to the combat ships, and only the transports. Since transports can’t fire, it would have no effect on the main battlegroup. Was this changed on purpose, or is this a bug?

IIRC in ARMA this was WAD. If you have to protect those TPs this will require additional organisation so they´re counting against stacking and command limit.

Yes, you are right, now that I think about it. I was thinking of stacking penalties; Transports don't count towards stacking, but they do count towards command...
